Awareness Through the Body (ATB) was born and developed in Auroville, a community dedicated to the ideal of human unity through the practice of integral yoga. Integral yoga is, in essence, an inner psychology work towards becoming conscious of one’s perceptions and abilities, in order to better self-direct one’s life and find inner balance. 

ATB is a program that strengthens one’s ability to sustain conscious attention to what one is experiencing, in every moment. The practice aims to help individuals develop their capacity for concentration, as well as relaxation. 

The activities are creative, and often fun.  Some of them are unique while others are inspired on a wide variety of disciplines including: Dance, Hatha yoga, Taoism, Martial Arts, Physiotherapy, Somatic, Shiatsu, Relaxation Techniques, and Breathing Therapies. All the activities  nurture self-awareness.

The practice of ATB provides a space for cultivating introspection, and becoming aware of the different planes that form the being.

”… first unify the different parts of your own being.” – Sri Aurobindo

Different workshops are customized for different age groups, levels, and objectives. 

Founders of ATB are Joan Sala and Aloka Marti. 

Amir Azulay is one of their longstanding trainers, teaching all levels of ATB, and to all different groups of participants:   Adults, teachers, therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, as well as school students, kindergarden age students, special needs children.
